Yep. Got a bunch of ground rods now, but I’m sill nervous this being Florida. This past summer, if my lightning alarm went off, I unplugged just to be safe.
@@AmRadPodcast hey thanks for responding I’m still learning and in the same process myself of getting things setup, did you connect your grounding rods to your main house grounding rod?
@@wesley20991 if I recall from the ARRL grounding and bonding book, you should connect to a rod at the arrestor, then bond it to the house rod as well.. of course with a wide flat (low impedance) connection.. I think DX engineering sells the stuff. I haven’t done that yet. Honestly the soil is so bad here for a vertical, I’m thinking about just switching to a retractable EFHW.. storm rolls in, so does the antenna.
Watching you makes me want to get off my duff and setup my antenna! er I mean antenna(s)! ;)
Same here!! I need some motivation! Been in this QTH 5 years and still nothing right!

Love your channel and the rebrand!
Thanks. Much appreciate! -Derek
Enjoyed the video. Which vertical antenna did you install? Thanks.
Thumbs up just for the Ukraine patch 👍 🇺🇦
Thanks for your support
Why the noise in the attic antenna?
I'm guessing that burying the cable helps to quiet down your noise floor too.
Nice setup in just wondering about your lightning arrester, is that grounded at all.

Noticed your Yaseu FT710..... I have one and love it... Go work on the antenna attic run.
Lost me with the Ukraine flag shirt...
